Barber’s workload

CNNSI.com’s Peter King has the Cowboys fourth in his latest Fine 15 rankings behind New England, Indianapolis and San Diego. Here’s what King says about Dallas: “Marion Barber III’s running the ball 12 times a game. That’s not enough for one of the 15 best backs in football.”

Barber had 19 carries in the Cowboys’ last game, the 24-14 victory over Minnesota, but don’t expect that to happen every week. Wade Phillips, like Bill Parcells before him, wants to do everything he can to make sure Barber has fresh legs in the fourth quarter.
